ISL91211A, ISL91211B
Triple/Quad Output PMIC with SPI/I
2
C Interface
The
ISL91211A
is a 4-phase, three output programmable
Power Management IC (PMIC) and the
ISL91211B
is a
4-phase, four output programmable PMIC. They are
optimized with highly efficient synchronous buck
converters capable of multiphase and single-phase
operations that can deliver up to 5A per phase continuous
output current. It features four buck controllers and has the
capability to reconfigure its power stages to these
controllers. This flexibility allows seamless design-in for a
wide range of applications that require high output power
and small solution size.
ISL91211A and ISL91211B integrate low ON-resistance
MOSFETs and programmable PWM frequency, allowing the
use of very small external inductors and capacitors. They
feature automatic Diode Emulation and Pulse Skipping
modes under light-load conditions to further improve
efficiency and maximize battery life. The ISL91211A and
ISL91211B deliver a highly robust power solution by
featuring a controller based on the Renesas proprietary R5
Technology that provides tight output accuracy and load
regulation, ultra-fast transient response, seamless DCM/CCM
transitions, and requires no external compensation.
In addition to the standard interrupt, chip enable, and
watchdog reset functions, ISL91211A and ISL91211B also
feature four MPIOs and three GPIOs capable of supporting
SPI, I
2
C communication protocol, and various other pin
mode functions.
